I've set up MATE in Ubuntu 12.04 (I switch back and forth between MATE and Cinnamon - I like them both). I've had proxy issues with whatever DE I've used in Ubuntu - Unity, Cinnamon, MATE - so it's not something that is limited to just the Mint community. I've done the following to make most things ...

cygnus This is what I did: viewtopic.php?f=208&t=115611&p=648075#p648075 I followed those instructions and it worked. This is what I did (without removing nautilus): Open /usr/share/applications/defaults.list (as admin) search for the line with "nautilus" and replace with "nemo" save, close, and ne...

I'm having the same issue on Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS with Cinnamon 1.6.7 running FGRLX video drivers. Issue: I take a screenshot, and it creates and saves it in the ~/Pictures folder, but it's not a current screenshot. If I do the Cinnamon restart trick stated in an earlier post (focus on window you want...

What I did was go into /usr/share/applications and edit defaults.list (you need to have elevated permissions). For me, I had uninstalled Nemo to use Nautilus as I wanted to try RabbitVCS, which doesn't work with Nemo. I didn't like Rabbit so I uninstalled it, but Nautilus kept coming up as my defaul...
